To the horrified astonishment of his apprentice, the elder sorcerer explains how the human mind has been infiltrated by an alien intelligence: We have a ‎predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. ‎Human beings are its ‎prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act ‎independently, it demands that we don’t do so. Sorcerers believe that the predators have given us our ‎systems of ‎beliefs, our ideas of good and evil, our social mores. They are the ones who set up our hopes and expectations and dreams of success or failure. They have given us covetousness, greed and cowardice. It is the predators who make us complacent, routinary and egomaniacal. (Carlos Castaneda)

We´re running into a lot of new problems today because of what we emphasize in this culture. The word ‘success´ to the average person means earning a lot of money and having a home, two cars, children in college. Success to me is entirely different to what success is to the average person. Success is being a successful human being in terms of pursuing what you believe in. If you believe in making paintings, writing poetry, writing music. If this is what you really want, you´re successful to yourself. But to be successful to your culture means to sell yourself short of what you really want. (Jacque Fresco) [41337]

In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and ‎freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to #survival. ― Noam Chomsky

It’s ridiculous to talk about ‎freedom in a society dominated by huge ‎corporations. What kind of freedom is there inside a corporation? They’re totalitarian institutions - you take orders from above and maybe give them to people below you. There’s about as much freedom as under Stalinism. ― Noam ‎Chomsky

In the U.K. there is supposedly, every person in the U.K., if you are out walking in the street, you are photographed at least 30 times in one day and 1 out of 78 people in the U.K. is specifically monitored by security systems and as you know the U.K. is the most monitored camera crazy country in the universe and U.S. would be second and Germany as well. Everything you do and everything you say is on Camera and they want your Genetics. I´ve seen this in the train stations in U.K., but there are scientists that say: If you spit on the platform, they will get your dna and trace you on the government computers to know exactly who you were and your dna will be online forever in their computer system and will be find..
